Hyperconnectivity in Children with Autism (IMAGE)
Caption
The brains of children with autism show more connections than the brains of typically developing children do. What's more, the brains of individuals with the most severe social symptoms are also the most hyper-connected. The findings reported in two independent studies published in the Cell Press journal Cell Reports on Nov. 7 are challenge the prevailing notion in the field that autistic brains are lacking in neural connections.
